Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

After Ms. Noya skillfully accepted the money and completed the information registration, she placed her hands on her lips and blew a kiss to the two of them, "Mmm, I'll let you know as soon as the mission is released.

No wonder you were able to reach four stars before the age of 20, you really work hard! I will help introduce more missions in the future, and I will try my best to give you priority when it comes to difficult missions. Love you guys!

Aolan: “.”

Did this guy misunderstand something, thinking that they felt the tasks in the gathering hall were not difficult enough, so they went out to find jobs themselves?

If it weren't for the sake of selling favors, who would want to hunt a thing like the Tail Hammer Dragon! Not to mention the additional requirement of keeping the hammer tail intact.

But Muti was already saying "Okay, okay, thank you Sister Noah" foolishly, which was really a headache to watch.

Rubbing his twitching forehead, Orlan calmed himself down and said, "Miss Guild Leader, you know that hunting a Tail Hammer Dragon requires an archer. Could you recommend a suitable archer?"

The poster girl's guild leader nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! Although there aren't many hunters in our Metabetate guild, we still have a high percentage of young people, so it's easy to get along with them.

Should we only consider four-star shooters, or expand the scope to include three-, four-, and five-star shooters?"

Orlan pondered.

The difficulty of hunting the Tailhammer Dragon should be four stars. With two four-star hunters leading the team, a three-star shooter can also participate. But to be honest, although they are only temporary teammates, I still hope to find a stronger partner.

As for five-star players, their strength is self-evident, but the addition of a five-star shooter is likely to lead to a shift in the team's dominance.

He was not obsessed with the command of the team. If the opponent was Senior Seer, there would be no problem in handing over the command, but he was still not at ease to entrust Muti and his own life to a strange shooter.

"Let's just consider four-star shooters for now," Orlan replied.

"Hmm, there are currently three four-star shooters registered with Metabetat. You should be familiar with Mr. Bradley from the Vanguard Hunter Group."

"Yeah, but it seems the Vanguard Hunting Group has been out on a hunting mission lately."

Otherwise, this task would probably fall on them, Aolan added in his heart.

"Yes." The guild leader flipped through the registration book. "It's a bit troublesome. As for the remaining two, one is a bowhunter, a lone ranger who never teams up with others.

There is another one who is a heavy crossbow user, but he is the captain of a hunting group, so it is not easy to convince him to join you temporarily.

Want to contact them and try?"

"Is this so"

After pondering for a moment, Aolan shook his head. "Then let's not contact those two for now. The mission review will take a few days anyway. We'll think of a solution. If it doesn't work, we two are confident we can do it. It just takes more time and effort."

"Okay."

After nodding to the mascot president to express his gratitude, Olangmuti left the counter and went to the tavern area to order some food.

Muti just didn't eat enough.

Looking at his companions stuffing food into their mouths, Orlan hesitated for a moment and said, "Mutti, do you think we need to add a shooter to our team?"

As if feeling he hadn't expressed himself clearly enough, Orlan added, "Even if it's not a completely fixed partnership like the two of us, at least it should be a partner you can trust and work with frequently."

Muti swallowed hard, tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It seems that there is indeed a need. Starting from the fourth star, there will be many large flying dragons among the monsters we need to face.

If there is no shooter in the team, it will be inconvenient in many situations and the tactics will be greatly restricted."

"Yeah." Orlan has also been troubled by these things recently. "It's not just flying monsters. There are also monsters with high damage like the Tail Hammer Dragon, and some monsters with obvious attribute weaknesses. If there is a reliable shooter in the team, it will be much easier to deal with them.

Is there anyone suitable among those we are familiar with? Perhaps we could consider inviting them?"

"Sister Fu Fu?" Muti's first reaction was naturally Fu Fu, who had no blood relationship with him but was like a real sister to him.

"Senior Francesca," Orlan pinched his chin, "her strength should be more than one level higher than ours, and she seems to be more obsessed with traveling than us.

If you forcefully invite her, she might be willing to come to Metabetat for a while, considering your relationship, but that doesn't seem like a good idea either."

"It's really not good." Muti shook her head quickly. She hated forcing others to do anything.

"But then again, Senior Francesca has traveled extensively and must know quite a few people. How about you write her a letter and tell her about the welfare situation here at Metabetate and see if she has any suitable people to introduce?"

"That's fine, I'll write the letter in a minute!"

Aolan nodded and casually asked, "By the way, what kind of weapon does Senior Francesca mainly use? I don't think I've ever seen her carrying a weapon."

"It's the slingshot and the whistle, meow." Yuwan interjected.

"?"

Chapter 189 Obsessive Rage

The severe shortage of hunters is the biggest shortcoming of the Metabetat Guild.

Olang said "I'll think of another way", but with only a few local four-star shooters, he couldn't come up with any new ideas, so he had to pin his hopes on the letter that Muti sent a few days ago.

Both the review process for the Tailclump Dragon hunting mission and the communication with Fu Fu take time.

Four days passed, the task review was not yet completed, and Fu Fu's reply had not arrived. However, their new equipment, thanks to the full efforts of the workshop owner and craftsmen such as Alman, was completed ahead of schedule with an efficiency far exceeding the normal customization cycle.

You have to know that this is not a novice equipment like a hunter set or an ore set. There are multiple steps in the pre-processing of the materials alone.

To be able to complete the project in such a short time, the workshop owner and his team obviously put in a lot of effort.

Following Barry, who came specially to inform them, they came to the inner room of the "Big Hammer" workshop, where Muti and Oran saw their new equipment.

Hanging on the iron humanoid rack was a set of heavy full-body armor that looked much thicker than Muti's original Sand Dragon suit.

This set of armor is based on a high-strength alloy made of rare minerals such as pyroxene, crane stone, and red lotus stone. The thickness of the alloy inner armor alone exceeds that of at least half of the hunter's protective gear.

Not to mention the layers of rock dragon shells inlaid on it, which look like gray-white rocks but are actually much harder and more resilient than rocks.

The whole set of armor feels very heavy just by looking at it, but the sense of security brought by this heavy structure is far beyond the reach of ordinary light armor.

"Aha, you are finally here. This is our most confident work. Come and try it on!" The workshop owner said with a big laugh, hugging his strong arms.

Bali dragged Muti into the dressing room to try on the armor. The workshop owner looked at Orlan with a smile and said, "Your two weapons are also ready. They are here."

He tilted his head towards Orlan and led the latter to a weapon rack where a katana and a pair of one-handed swords were displayed.

Orlan's first impression of the two weapons was - beautiful.

Both weapons are based on pale and orange-red tones, giving people a vivid and bright feeling.

In fact, this is the color of the shadow spider's shell. Because the shadow spider has the habit of wearing the skin of a poisonous bird, many people mistakenly believe that this monster is pitch black, but it is not.

Their carapaces are mainly white, while the tips of their limbs and the edges of their carapaces gradually turn into a bright orange-red, just like these two weapons.

The katana is made mainly from the sharp claws of the shadow spider. It is slender and the structure of the hilt is relatively complex. It contains a special mechanism made from a "sleeping bag" that can secrete a sleeping toxin that can cause large flying dragons to fall asleep.

"This sword is called 'Blood and Tears'. There's a wooden target in the open space behind the workshop for testing the power of weapons. You can try it out."

Aolan understood the other party's implication - he could try it, but it would be best not to do it indoors.

He couldn't help but find it a little funny. It was not uncommon for hunters to get new weapons and be so excited that they accidentally dismantled the equipment or even the walls in the workshop. The craftsmen were all scared.

Orlan reached for the katana, and Alman helped to pick up the one-handed sword, and they headed towards the open space where the target was.

The moment the blood and tears came into his hands, Orlan paused for a moment.

"This"

"Surprisingly light, isn't it?" The workshop owner explained with a smile as he led the way, "The Shadow Spider's carapace is incredibly lightweight, weighing less than half the weight of metal of the same volume.

Therefore, it is very easy to control, suitable for performing some delicate moves. When attacking the monster's weak spots, there is no need to worry about the movement being deformed by the weight of the weapon. In short, it is a very accurate weapon (20% critical hit rate).

"I see."

Following the boss and Alman to the target, Orlan signaled them to step back a little and swung a few swords at the target quickly.

The sword flashed, leaving several crisscross sword marks on the target.

Aolan stopped and looked at the blood and tears in his hand with some surprise.

Just as the workshop owner said, this sword is very light, and the blade size, center of gravity arrangement and other aspects are excellent. Even if a novice swordsman holds this sword, his attack will become more accurate.

However, this sword is not without its flaws.

Ao Lang put the Blood and Tears into the scabbard and reached out to touch the sword marks.

The workshop owner saw through his thoughts at a glance. "Being so light, the power of this sword will inevitably be affected. In terms of physical destructive power, the Blood and Tears is slightly inferior to a katana of the same level."

"Ah."

Ao Lang nodded. This was exactly the shortcoming he had discovered. The sword marks on the target were shallow. In terms of destructive power alone, this sword was a whole level lower than the iron sword [Kagura].

He twisted his fingertips again, and there was a little light blue mucus on them, which was the shadow spider's sleeping venom.

Can the lack of destructive power be compensated by more accurate attacks, faster attack speed, and the effect of sleeping venom?

There is always a price to pay for every gain, and this result was within his expectations. Just like pursuing lightweight protective gear, the defensive performance will inevitably be affected, and you can't have it all.

But to be honest, he felt that he didn't have many opportunities to actually use this "Blood and Tears".

Weapons with sleep attributes are mostly auxiliary weapons. They accumulate toxicity to force monsters into a coma, creating offensive opportunities for companions, which is indeed what a shortstop would do.

But the problem is, if he has to do these things for tactical reasons.

Why not use a one-handed sword which has a higher attack frequency, accumulates toxins more efficiently, and is more suitable for assisting combat in all aspects?

Feeling a little regretful, Orlan cast his gaze towards the pair of one-handed swords in Alman's hands.

Alman consciously took the sheathed Blood and Tears from Orlan's hand, and then handed the one-handed sword, which was equally exquisite in shape, no, it should be said that it was more gorgeous than Blood and Tears, to the latter.

Orlan looked down.

The sword part is a typical knight's straight sword with a blade length of nearly one meter. For ordinary knights, this is a typical two-handed sword, but in the hands of a hunter, it is just a light "one-handed dagger".

The shield is a round shield made of multiple layers of shadow spider shells and is quite strong.

After performing a series of rapid slashes on the target and attempting a fatal combo (JR), Orlan put down his sword and shield with satisfaction.

Like the Blood and Tears, this one-handed sword is also very light, but the one-handed sword itself is a light weapon that pursues agility. The lightness of the sword body can only be an advantage, not a disadvantage.

It is light, accurate (critical hit), and can accumulate toxins. It has all the advantages of Blood and Tears. However, the disadvantage of reduced destructive power due to its light weight is not as obvious in weapons such as the one-handed sword as in the katana.

Even without considering the effect of the sleeping poison, this is still a very good one-handed sword. Overall, he is more satisfied with this one-handed sword than the sword Blood and Tears. Brother Searle's recommendation is indeed correct!

"What's her name?" Orlan stroked the sword and looked up at Alman.

"Shadow Spider Shield Sword."

".Huh? Why are you so casual?"

The katana was called "Blood and Tears", and he thought the one-handed sword would be called "Cold Bones" or "Setting Sun" or something like that.

The young craftsman shrugged, "I don't know. The names of the Shadow Spider series weapons vary greatly. Most of them are straightforward, like Shadow Spider Greatsword, Stealth Bug Staff, and Shell Gunlance.

Only the shield axe and the katana are named with the most care. Incidentally, the Shadow Spider shield axe is called 'Arachne's Scale'."

Aolan: “.”

Obsessive compulsive disorder is about to strike!

Just as Orlan was complaining, Muti, who had changed his clothes with the help of Bali, also walked out of the locker room.

Looking at the fully armed Muti, Olang's eyes jumped.

Muti was already tall, and with the pair of helmets with horns, she looked more than two meters tall. The exaggerated shoulder armor made her tall and thin body almost twice the width of a person, and she looked like a wall when she walked over.

"Have you put it on? How is it? Does it feel heavy?" asked the workshop boss with a smile.

"No!" Muti gave him a thumbs up. "It's heavy and reassuring!"

"Haha, the biggest advantage of this armor is its defensive capabilities (Defense+). It's also very heavy. As long as you're strong enough and can handle it, the weight will make your attacks more powerful (Heavy Attack)."

"Is that so?" Muti unfurled his rifle and swung it with a whirring sound. "Oh oh! It seems like the attack force has increased!"

Ao Lang quickly pulled the others back two steps.

"This type of armor really seems to be tailor-made for you."

Chapter 190 Fu Fu's Letter

Over the next two days, Orang and Muti spent their time getting used to their new equipment.

Thanks to the dense forest not far from the city, they also took on a special mission to subdue a group of nearby blue speed dragons, and used those poor speed dragons to practice the reliability of the new armor and the power of the new weapons.

It turns out that whether it is Muti's Rock Dragon Set or Orlan's Blood Tears and Shadow Spider Shield Sword, they are all overkill when used to deal with the Blue Speed ​​Dragon.

The Blood and Tears and Shadow Spider Shield Sword can easily chop off the heads of the Blue Speed ​​Dragons. Muti even took advantage of the thick armor of the Rock Dragon Suit and directly boxed with those Blue Speed ​​Dragons.

If there wasn't a Blue Speed ​​Dragon King among this group of Blue Speed ​​Dragons, Orlan doubted that this guy could really strangle a Blue Speed ​​Dragon King to death with his bare hands...

After easily dealing with the group of forest bandits who were endangering the city's safety, the two returned to the meeting place and were about to walk towards the area where the tavern was located when they saw the president of the poster girl waving at them.
